Is the Great Tribulation Ahead?
November 3rd, 2010 | Eschatology | No Comment
Anxiety in the Church Over the Great Tribulation
The great tribulation prophecy in the Old Testament continues to baffle readers of the Bible. Is this event soon to occur? Should we be fear? For those who are Preterists, we know that this concern is totally unfounded. There is not such notion as a tribulation in our future related to any of the end times prophecies of the Bible. There are no signs of the times that signal such an event is near.
Yet, many will never take the time and read to discover the simplicity of fulfilled Bible prophecy, at least not ...

Law of Moses and Amillennial Eschatology
In the previous study on 2 Corinthians Chapter 3, we discussed the Law of Moses showing that it continued beyond Jesus' death on the cross in A.D. 3. We also demonstrated that it was yet in the process of being fulfilled when Paul wrote the second epistle. Thirdly, we demonstrated that the fulfillment of the Law of Moses was Paul's hope. There is but one hope of the gospel (Eph. 4:5). Therefore, the fulfillment of the Law of Moses fulfills the gospel hope.

A Day As A Thousand Years - Christian Eschatology
Second Peter three is a much abused text in the study of Christian eschatology (the end times and last days prophecy). One of the most abused passages in the chapter is verse 8. "But beloved, do not forget this one thing, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day." How have the futurists, skeptics and Dispensationalists used this verse? In a word, backwards.
What I mean is that they have used it in exactly the opposite manner as that intended by the Apostle. ...

Victorious Eschatology
What is Victorious Eschatology? Great question. Victorious eschatology characterizes what the eschatological goal was all about. It was about gaining or achieving victory, never to be defeated again. It is about the complete dominion over the enemies of God so that a Christian can live with the blessed assurance and confidence of their walk in Christ today. They need not fear those enemies. Let's consider them, but first let's discuss defeated eschatology.

Defeated Eschatology
When I speak of the defeated eschatological paradigm, I speak of the views that regard the Sin, the Law, the Satan and the death as ...

The Beginning of the World - Christian Eschatology: We're often asked, what is left for us if Christ has come? Where is our hope? Is this all we get? How much more ungrateful, simplistic and narrow a viewpoint can this be? That's not to say the questions are not honest, but they do lack just bit of depth in thought.
What do we have now that Christ has come? How about everything, including the world? Is that enough? "Therefore, let no one boast in men. For all things are yours: whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas, or ...
